Independently of his having served them for eighteen years , as their Honorary Secretary ,
he had assisted them in every charitable undertaking ,, and he thought , in the proposition he was about to make , that they had not gone beyond what had been done in other Lodges . Bro . Emmens ought to have a testimonial something more than one to look at , and one that should , to some extent , remunerate him for his long and valuable services . Many Lodges paid their Secretaries ten guineas pel annum , and had the Old Concord Lodge acted on that principle , he would now have received 180 guineas ; but even that sum would have been an inadequate
